Changes to Our Privacy Policy
CoolHotNot was founded on the principle of helping visitors discover according to the wisdom of respected tech experts, which consumer products are Cool (the best), Hot (the most wanted), and Not (the most disappointing). We, the founders of CoolHotNot, value our own privacy, and we are hence committed to protecting your personal privacy as well. Thus, we make every effort to protect your privacy just as we would want others to protect ours.
This Privacy Policy describes the nature of the information CoolHotNot collects and obtains from users of the CoolHotNot site ("Site") and associated services, and how that information is used.
Information We Collect
As a condition of your entering any of the featured product giveaway drawings we offer, you are required to register with CoolHotNot by providing us with your first and last name, email address, mailing address, and phone number — so we can contact you and send you the product you've won if you turn out to be one of our winners (and we hope you do). Of course if you do not wish to enter our giveaway drawing, you may visit our site anonymously.
How We Use the Information We Collect
Information we collect from you may be used to personalize your experience, as knowing who you are will allow us to better respond to your individual needs. If you register for our giveaway, we will send you periodic newsletters to keep you up-to-date on new CoolHotNot developments, and will include detailed “unsubscribe” instructions at the bottom of each message. We also use the information you provide to administer the giveaway contest.
Our Commitment to You
We promise that we will never sell, barter, trade, or otherwise share your private, personal information without your consent – except in the event you win a giveaway. In that case, we will release your contact information to the vendor whose giveaway you have won so they can send the prize to you. The only other time we would release your personal information would be if we believed such release was required to comply with the law, to enforce our site policies (see our Terms of Use), or to protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Information This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply To
This privacy policy does not apply to information collected about you by anyone other than CoolHotNot, and only applies to the Site known as coolhotnot.com, and does not include pages linked to by the Site that reside on other websites.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page. This privacy policy was last modified on 12/23/2010.
